Mikado Alicein

Mikado Alicein is Misono's  and Mikuni's father. He is the head of the Alicein household and a buisnessman.

Background
Mikado was probaply and only child and raised as the only heir to the Alicein houlehold. He was educated by Hattori-sensei and often lost chess to him, what always made him cry.

Later on he got married and became father of Mikuni Alicein, his first son. Despite having a good marriage, he eventually fell in love with Mikuni's teacher (about 16 - 15 years prior to the storyline). The two of them had a relationship in secret and as a product she gave birth to Misono Alicein, Mikuni's half brother.

At first she left the mansion alongside her new born Misono and raised him alone. Yet, the two of them stayed in contact via letters and she sent Mikado photos of Misono. Once Mikado wanted to present her a pocketwatch, but she sent it back, because she concidered it much too expencive.

Mikado loved Misono just as much as he loved Mikuni so he was very happe, when he saw that the two of them get along.

Later when he told Mikuni, that he betrayed his mother, he seemed to be creeped by his son's cold reaction and the words that he despies his father.

Anyway, Mikados wife got incredibly jealous of his affair and finally killed her using Doubt Doubt. Her excuse was her envy and hatered towards Mikado, but out of regret she and Mikado decided to take care of Misono and raise him like their own child with all their love.

Later (7 years prior to the storyline) Mikados wife attempted to kill Misono as well, but Mikuni was right there to stop her - and not only stopped, but killed her. Mikado freezed in shock when he heard about what happened. One of his servants told him, that Mikuni and Doubt Doubt left the mansion after the murder and that Misono probaply saw everything.

From this day on, Mikado tried to erase this part of his past of his mind  with all his might - he pretended as if Mikuni never exicted and used All of love to manipulate his memories and stop him whenever he comes near the east wing of the mansion (the crime scene).

Storyline
After Misono got hit by Belukia, Mikado forbid him to leave the mansion - he tells him to never leave it again. All of his employees are ordered to not let anyone visit Misono, and Lilly is ordered to keep it a secret, that Mahiru and his friends try to visit him.

When Mahiru and the others finally make it inside the mansion, Mikado accompanies them and presents photos of Misono, when he was still a kid. Suddelny he fears anyone could lust after his son and yells at them - while doing so, he breaks his glasses. His secretay Mitsuki Usami brings a new one and reminds him of his appointments. Mikado rather wants to ignore them, but Mitsuki glares at him and makes him not to.

He explains the group why the coexcistence in their household is even possible - it's because no one interferes, and so Mahiru and his friends should go and leave Misono out of the war against Tsubaki, otherwise, they won't be welcome anymore.

After Lilly is defeated by Otogiri and recovers, Misono wants to play chess against his father - and if he wins, he was allowed to leave the mansion. Misono uses his lead so Mikado will not be able to leave the "battle" until it's over.

Mikado finally loses to his son and allowes him to go, further more he seems to recognize, that Misono is not a child anymore and wants him to tell Mikuni to come back.

Appearence and Personality
Mikado is a tall man with long brown hair that he wears as a ponytail. He also wears glasses and an expensive looking suit.

Mikado is a caring and loving father - regardless he also is pretty overprotective when it comes to Misono (Probaply triggerd by losing his wife, his affair and Mikuni). He always feares to lose him, because he considers him his only left familiy.

He seems to be very sensitive and gets very angry if someone lusts after Misono (or rather - when he thinks somenone lusts after him. He really loves Misono and really did love Mikuni in the past but in order to save Misonos soul, he decided to "forget" him. Might seems heartless on first sight, but he probably just wanted to make sure, he won't lose Misono too (because he feaered Misono would not be able to bear tue truth). Also when Misono beat him in chess, he tells him to beg Mikuni to come back - so he still cares for him.

Mikado seems to make him self responsible for what happened and is filled with guilt. In the past it was seen when he tried to make up for it by raising Misno together with his wife. In the present, he denies Mikuni's exictence and pretents Misono was his only son and does everything to protect him.

When he was a child, whe would always cry when he lost to Hattori (in chess) so he was probably bad at losing. He also seems to be very childish nowadays as you see him giving everything when playing against Misono (even when he was still a child) out of fear he could lose to his son. (Yet - he often lost to Mikuni before)

Some of his character trades are seen in Mikuni's behaviour, other's in Misono's.
